| Roles Classification |
|---|
| Biological Roles: | antiviral agent A substance that destroys or inhibits replication of viruses. anti-obesity agent Any substance which is used to reduce or control weight. mouse metabolite Any mammalian metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in a mouse (Mus musculus). |
| Applications: | antineoplastic agent A substance that inhibits or prevents the proliferation of neoplasms. antispasmodic drug A drug that suppresses spasms. These are usually caused by smooth muscle contraction, especially in tubular organs. The effect is to prevent spasms of the stomach, intestine or urinary bladder. antipsoriatic A drug used to treat psoriasis. antihypertensive agent Any drug used in the treatment of acute or chronic vascular hypertension regardless of pharmacological mechanism. |
